I think this part of how fascism is spreading. One way to oppose bad ideas is to have good ideas supported with factual evidence. We must insist your “facts”, be facts.

Allowing manipulative tactics like fabrication of emotionally jarring exaggerated statistics further pollutes discourse by conceding that the truth is not important. And at least for progressives, it actually discredits the position being taken. Apparently, the far-right is not interested when we fact-check their claims, but we are interested.

Gun violence is a crisis in the United States, especially for children, and a huge number — one that needs no exaggeration — have been affected by school shootings. An ongoing Washington Post analysis has found that more than 150,000 students attending at least 170 primary or secondary schools have experienced a shooting on campus since the Columbine High School massacre in 1999. That figure, which comes from a review of online archives, state and federal enrollment figures and news stories, is a conservative calculation and does not include dozens of suicides, accidents and after-school assaults that have also exposed youths to gunfire.

For years, he had claimed his enemies were stalking him. But when police arrested the gunman minutes later, they identified him as 29-year-old John Patler: Rockwell’s neo-Nazi protege.The killing made international headlines and led to a bizarre standoff over the Nazi’s body. It also crippled his party, which soon sank back into obscurity.

Video of Harris’s beating tore through the Internet. The ferocity of the assault heightened the public outcry over the rally, where a driver also plowed his car into a crowd of counterprotesters, killing 32-year-old Heather Heyer . James Alex Fields Jr., 20, has been charged with murder in her death. The rally was organized to oppose the removal of a Robert E. Lee statue from Emancipation Park.

After the event, critics questioned the strategy and planning of the Charlottesville Police Department, whose officers frequently stood to the side and did not try to halt skirmishes or get between ralliers and counterprotesters. In December, an independent review commissioned by the city was released, and it concluded that the department’s planning was “inadequate and disconnected” and that the officers’ lack of preparation led to “disastrous” consequences.
